Govt urged to link BSD and airport

JAKARTA: Tangerang city and airport operator PT Angkasa Pura
II want the central government to build a toll road connecting
Bumi Serpong Damai (BSD) to the Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport.

City development board strategic planning head Dadang
Durachman said the new road would ease heavy traffic along the
existing Sedyatmo tollway, Tempointeraktif.com reported on
Thursday.

The Jakarta Outer Ring Road (JORR) II project was feasible
because the existing BSD toll road could still be expanded,
Dadang said.

BSD was eligible for a toll road because the volume of traffic
in the area had reached 40,000 vehicles per day, the minimum
requirement, he said. -- JP
